The Time I Bought The Ultimate Birthday Present
Robyn Hearn

My older brother, Taylor, is my best friend, and we are super close. Also, we have the same birthday, so we're basically twins. So for this year, I wanted to get him something that he's always wanted because the past couple years he has given me the greatest presents.

He's always wanted a German Shepard, so I told my mom to start searching for a dog while I'm at school, and I'll save the money to pay for it. I had some graduation money left over, so I knew if I could watch my spending (which is hard) I could get him a pretty well-priced dog.

After searching, my mom and I found the perfect puppy! I contacted the breeder and my mom went to go see and put the deposit on the dog. Then, we waited for Taylor to come home. That was the hardest thing because Taylor wasn't coming home from instructional league until a few days before fall break, and I wanted to be there when he got the dog. The breeder was super flexible with our schedule and let us get the dog when I came home from school.

When I gave him the dog, his face was priceless! He was super excited! I could tell that he really appreciated that I would buy him a gift that he always wanted. Best little sister = me.
